With the 23rd Pick... Rodney Hood

[Bodhi]

I can't remember the last time it was this happy with a Jazz draft. We usually blow it. Not this year. Wow. I'm guessing everyone is going to give us an "A."

This I do agree with.

This is what Jazz Nation needed! The white suburban Utah kids can now proudly wear Hood Jazz jerseys! DL is a genius!

Well in the most simple reply, I see one as a stretch 4 and the other as a 2.

You see Hood as a 2?

Hood and Kyle Anderson had the most offensive talent of the players on the board. Great pick. Who knows how KA will translate to the NBA.

 

[Bodhi]

You see Hood as a 2?

Yes. I hope I'm wrong and he can be affective as a 3.

Hate Duke but love this pick (not just cause I called it) although strange they list him as a SG that he is 6'8" to me that sounds like SF. So I guess he's a little like Hayward in that way versatile player that can play 2 positions (not comparing their games) so just about half the Jazz roster can play 2 positions.
Exum PG/SG
Hayward SG/SF
Kanter & Favors PF/C

Hood is a SF.

 

[Bodhi]

Hood is a SF.

Because he's 6'8"?

 

[Twin Towers]

He is the exact same size at Hayward. Hayward is 6'8 and with a 6'8 wingspan. Hood has the exact same size and length.

Only difference is Hood can finish in traffic and shoot the 3 consistently and he is more athletic.

Hood will be the steal of this draft.

Can't believe he fell to 23. Great steal.

 

[jazzrule]

Hood shoots 42% from the 3. Another piece for us to run the Spurs offense!

I agree - very similar to Williams. Though Hood won't be guarding any PFs anytime soon - that would get messy.

Hood is the type of player who is going to dominate the summer league. He's a better passer than he's given credit for and if he improves his defense he will be a great addition.

It's okay. He's basically Marvin Williams.

I would have preferred Early.

I think we sorta won the draft.
